N-sulfonyloxaziridines as bleaching compounds

Abstract

Novel bleaches are reported. The bleaches are of the N-sulfonyloxaziridine type. Substrates such as fabrics may be bleached in an aqueous solution containing the oxaziridine.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A compound whose structure is: ##STR18## wherein: R 1  is a radical selected from the group consisting of phenyl, lower alkyl and cycloalkyl radicals, each said radical having a lower alkyl quaternary di- or tri-alkylammonium substituent; and R 2  with R 3  is a benzisothiazole ring system.   
     
     
       2. The compound according to claim 1 wherein the alkylammonium substituted radical is a 3-trimethylammoniomethyl radical. 
     
     
       3. A compound which is 3-trimethylammoniomethyl-1,2-benzisothiazole-1,1-dioxide oxide chloride salt.
